Oh well I think I'm going then! Can't believe it! Does anyone know if they are all gone. I'm trying for a friend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Tease Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I think it's nice they've made these places available after the tickets sold out- I'm very happy for those who were worried they wouldn't be going but now might be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interpretation of the confirmation mail is more conservative - in that only your application is confirmed once you have all the green ticks. I would prefer to be wrong though.

Sounds like you might be sorted now with volunteering but for what it's worth I reckon you'd have more luck at a smaller independent place. They have dedicated paypoint/payzone scanners that make it straightforward for them. Plus things might be a bit quieter allowing them to try again if any issues.

I went back to Co Op today and got someone else and they did it. But yes think I'm volunteering now fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill out the profile, make sure your reference responds positively, book+attend training. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the list, but usually various dates in decent sized cities around the country (England, anyway - I've heard Scotland is a bit absent) and occasionally an online option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply. I had the page up to pay deposit for stewarding but i hesitated due to not knowing the training situation and getting extra time off work to do that. Thats the only issue i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong since I don’t have to do one this year, but I think most of the in-person training sessions have passed. When I did it in 2016 there was a small on-site training session on the Wednesday for folk that got their app in late though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be absolutely ideal. Just need to keep an eye if more positions come up now. You need to be on it like an absolute hawk!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropBeat Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Congrats to those who got an Oxfam spot! I went down that route too when they were first available, so I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you! I'm doing my training next week!
